Quotable Sunday: The Road to Happiness
The other day I saw this quote on Naomi’s blog over at One Fit Foodie. I loved it so much that I wanted to feature it on this week’s Quotable Sunday. As the weekend unwinds, I want you all to remember that this life is yours (and yours alone) to live, so follow the path that makes you happiest and never look back.
Have a great night,

Quotable Sunday: Reading (Deep) into Text Messages
[source]
The other day, my friend sent me an article from The Hairpin called “Reading Between the Texts: The Other Side.” The little scenarios made me laugh so hard because, well, we’ve all been there at some point in time. And if you haven’t been there, then you may just be the most normal person I’ve ever met. Whether you’re a drunk texter-aholic or simply an over-analyzer like myself, you’ll surely get a hoot out of this article.
Here is a brief snippet:
The Text
“What are u up to”
The Strategy
K: OK, so in your response, what message do you want to send? Are you trying to play it cool like you don’t really care that much, unless he cares a lot? Or are you like, trying to be sexy and forward?
B: I’m trying to be … sexily uninterested.
K: NICE, okay. So you should make it sound like you’re doing something awesome, but you are potentially free if he begs you.
B: Exactly! So should I be like “nm, at this crazy party, what about u” ?
K: Well that might be weird. It’s like 4 p.m. He’ll think you’re an … Read More!

Quotable Sunday: On Surrounding Yourself with Good People
Well, the day has arrived. It’s finally time for my parents to meet The Boy’s parents in a little less than an hour now. I’m excited to spend the day surrounded by family, shrimp cocktail, BBQing and boat rides. Life doesn’t get much better than that, and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day.
Anyway, this morning I got to thinking how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life. After all, I truly believe that the people we spend our time with greatly affect who we are, and how we carry ourselves through this crazy little thing called life. It’s like we take a little piece of every person we build a relationship with, making us a better person in the end. That’s why I choose to surround myself with amazing people, amazing people who are going to make me a better person.
I think Oprah sums it up perfectly:
Enjoy your Sunday ladies!
XoXo,

Quotable Sunday: A Shout Out to Dad
Happy Father’s day to all you dad’s out there! Not that any dad’s beside my own read this blog, but you know what I mean. ‘Tis the day to celebrate everything our father’s do for us, and in my case that’s an awful lot.
So dad, here is a post dedicated just for you; yup, the #1 guy in my life who has been there from day one when I was a little puny 5-pound babe who you claimed look like E.T. (Ha, thanks dad.)
But in all seriousness, here are a few things I am particularly thankful for this Father’s Day:
1. That you attempted to make me a nasty basketball player when I was a little girl, despite the fact that I had zero patience when you tried to correct my “follow through,” and still loved me even though I (kinda) sucked.
2. That you put up with a family composed of all women. You should really get a gold medal for that.
3. That you motivated me to fall in love with running, and supported me through training for my first half marathon, even though I cried during the first 5K we ran together. You taught … Read More!

Quotable Sunday: On Finding Utter Happiness
This coming week, I’m going to focus very hard on finding harmony and balance in my life. Not over-analyzing everything. Not thinking too much about the future, nor too much about the past. On just going with the flow. I believe that if you let yourself think, do, and say as you please in the moment, you will ultimately find that place of harmony and happiness you’ve been looking for.
What goals have you set for yourself this upcoming week?… Read More!

Quotable Sunday: A Lesson from Good Old Dr. Seuss
Good morning everyone! Isn’t it such a lovely day in New England? It felt so nice to walk out of the house this morning in a spring-y dress, boots and light sweater. IT’S ABOUT TIME. I’m heading home now for my cousin’s baby shower. It should be a wonderful day, filled with family, food and fun.
Anywho, this week I’ve been thinking a lot about life, more particularly being in control of your own life. I think sometimes when things get a little crazy, we tend to forget that we have control over our own lives. No one else is in charge but YOU. If you hate your job, you don’t have to stay in it. If you’re not happy with your relationship, you can end it. If you want to pick up Italian again, travel Europe or start playing piano, you have the ability to. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself that YOU are in control, and can go anywhere you want to go. So now a lesson from the ever-so-smart Dr. Seuss:
Hope you all have a great Sunday & enjoy the sunshine!
XoXo,
